The Foundation provides grants to registered charities for projects that encourage the development of children through imaginative thinking. Grants, ranging from £500 upwards, will be given to original projects that are imaginative, creative and innovative. Support focuses on projects involving children during their early years, but projects involving older children will be considered where appropriate. The Foundation supports projects that:

• promote the development of children through children’s imaginative thinking;
• encourage innovation and innovative thinking and influence good practice elsewhere;
• offer creative solutions that deal with the causes of problems in childhood;
• ensure effective evaluation of projects to promote sharing and learning; and
• demonstrate how the voices of children can be heard.

The next application deadline is the 28th August 2007.
